Lula’s Sweet Apothecary
Jan 9th, 2012 | By Nina | Category: NYC, TravelI was dying to try this little dessert place because it had soft serve soy frozen yogurt and soft serve cashew frozen yogurt!!! The flavor I most wanted to try was there Cake Batter. So after Chris and I went to this great little sushi place for dinner we realized that Lula’s was literally about 6 blocks away!! I was shaking for it!!
Have you ever gone to a movie that you heard amazing reviews for and then when you saw it you were totally disappointed because it didin’t live up to the hype??? Bingo, damn I had such an expectation that I wouldn’t be able to live without this place…..not so much.
We walked in and I swear the entire place was smaller than my closet at home. There were two people working there and let’s say not the friendliest. I asked if I could try a sample of the yogurt and she said they only sample the ice cream and not the yogurt. Really???? Well we were there and I guess I was going to get it regardless.
I ordered a large cup of the soy yogurt in the cake batter flavor and Chris ordered a regular ice cream sundae.
Cake Batter Soy Yogurt = Not so good!!! argh!! Wasted calories, I should have just gone to a local bakery and chowed down on a giant black and white cookie!! Lesson learned. Chris’s sundae was okay nothing amazing.
Sorry Lula’s we won’t be back!!
These two desserts were 15 dollars…..really??? It would have been worth every penny if it tasted great.


You ordered the worst flavor they have! I love Lula’s, but I hate that cake batter soft serve with a vengeance.
Stick with the cashew based hard ice creams. Peanut butter anything is amazing, anything that has a richer flavor to it is usually good (rather than something like the cookies and cream, which I don’t think is as good).
when I am back in NYC I will have to give it another try!
